I'm trying to connect for the first time to a Rx3I via Ethernet for the purpose of looking at the ladder logic and inputs/outputs while the machine is running. I do not have the original program file, but the machine manufacturer said there is no password on the program. My history is in AB and a few other varieties of CODESYS PLCs... this is my first time with GE.
I depend a lot on on-line tutorials, but I'm not finding anything on uploading existing programs onto the PC without the original file on the PC (just connecting and downloading). I'm a little afraid of making a mistake and writing a blank project to the CPU.
From what I gather so far, I create a blank project, using the correct CPU... put the IP address in the Hardware Inspector... then?
I'm at the customer's site right now, if anyone is able to give some input.
